tha-csv-runner 0.2.2

Run a function over every row of a CSV — with progress, header validation, and structured per-row errors.

tha-csv-runner

A small Python library that runs a function against every row of a CSV — with a progress bar, required header validation, and structured error capture per row.

Install

pip install tha-csv-runner

Quick start

from tha_csv_runner import ThaCSV

def process(row: dict) -> None:
    """Raise any exception to mark the row as an error. Return value is ignored."""
    if not row["email"].endswith("@example.com"):
        raise ValueError("invalid email domain")

runner = ThaCSV()

rows = runner.read("Step 1 of 1", "data.csv", ["name", "email"], process)
runner.write("Step 1 of 1", "output.csv")

How it works

1. Opens the CSV and validates that all required_headers are present — raises immediately if any are missing
2. Iterates every row with a tqdm progress bar labelled with desc
3. Calls your validator(row) function — if it raises, that row is marked as an error and processing continues
4. Appends three columns to every row: row number, row status, and message
   • On success: row status and message are blank
   • On error: row status = "error", message = str(exception)
5. write() writes all rows (success and error) to a CSV

API

ThaCSV

ThaCSV()

runner.read()

runner.read(
    "Step 2 of 10",          # progress bar label — pass None to use the filename
    "data.csv",              # path to input CSV
    ["a", "b"],              # columns that must exist — raises ConfigError if missing
    validator=my_func,       # optional: callable(row: dict) -> None
    enrich=True,             # optional: set False to skip row number/status/message columns
)

Reads and processes all rows. Returns the rows as a list[dict] (same object as runner.rows).

When enrich=False, validator exceptions are re-raised instead of captured.

runner.write()

runner.write(
    "Step 10 of 10",                   # progress bar label — pass None to use the output filename
    output_path="output.csv",          # optional — auto-named input_processed_TIMESTAMP.csv if omitted
    sort_by="name",                    # optional — column name, or list of column names
    ascending=True,                    # optional — bool or list of bools matching sort_by
    column_order=["name", "email"],    # optional — listed columns come first, rest follow
    keep=["name", "email"],            # optional — keep only these columns (mutually exclusive with drop)
    drop=["row number"],               # optional — remove these columns (mutually exclusive with keep)
)

Returns the Path that was written.
